DISX3 - Shattered (OOP-016)

w/ remixes from The Lady Machine and Denise Rabe
Out of Place Records has already cemented its place on the global techno landscape with a number of stellar releases in the past. A long anticipated Out of Place 16 brings us a prolific techno stalwart DisX3 (Alexander Kowalski). A respected German electronic music producer and live performer known for his forward thinking approach towards electronic music and has made some of the most coveted techno records of all time. DisX3 graced us with this fantastic 2 track EP which also includes exceptional remixes coming from two mistresses of modern techno - The Lady Machine & Denise Rabe. We see this standout release being in the record bag of every techno enthusiast out there.

OUT ON:
Bandcamp: 08.12
Other stores: 15.12.

Shattered pattern 1 has a pacey and loopy arrangement which continuously intensifies throughout the track. The groove gives it a constant and great movement. 

The Lady Machine remix is dominated by a bouncy bassline and is a perfect track for every occasion, should that be a club environment or a festival, should it be played as a layer or simply a stand alone track. Works both ways! 

Denise Rabe remix takes this release into a more subtle waters with a variety of deep, atmospheric, trippy but yet driving sounds with a fantastic breakey feel to it. 

Shattered pattern 2 gives us that raw feel beautifully blending the idea of past and present techno. Energetic big room track and is a serious musical weapon for the dance floor demolition.

DisX3 - Shattered Part 2 [Artaphine Premiere]

Ignez è tornato su Token per il suo EP di 4 tracce "Nadi". Il dissonante e seducente lavoro di sintetizzatore offre l'unico sollievo da un uso unico e spietato delle percussioni durante tutto il progetto.

Ignez - Warrior One - Token [Premiere]

Returning to Token with his second solo contribution for the label, Ignez invites us back into his sonic world with his new chapter ‘Aventurine’. Providing yet again a record with novel texture and spatial work, Ignez guides us through a 4 track project orchestrated with intent and skill. 

‘Aventurine’ introduces the EP assertively with his unmistakably cinematographic approach. The title-track proves to be of considerable dimension, a precise and impactful percussion-line cuts through distant atmospheres, rendered all the more dramatic with the presence of a cello. Ignez then takes down the narrative tone a notch to make space for the A2 ‘Seraphic’, narrowing his focus and stripping down the record. Giving the track time to sink in an expertly crafted tension, it isn’t until halfway through that the main attraction is revealed. Reverse, spiraling stabs dot along a persistently imposing rhythm to make ‘Seraphic’ very representative of a style that Ignez has claimed over the past few years. Whipping outward with white noise to accentuate the listener’s notion of space, we arrive finally to the second half of ‘Aventurine’. A perfect follow-up to the last cut awaits under the name ‘Verdant’. Dry percussion and string-like stabs, this time sharper and more metallic, make for a record where timing is the driving force. More mute than the previous tracks, ‘Verdant’ makes a perfect dip into the final element of the EP - ‘Cure’. Back into a more harmonic style, Ignez uses vocals and background synth work to create tonality before throwing in the ear-candy. Spacing out elements to conclude the EP in a meditative fashion, Ignez once again strikes a balance between technical knowhow and acute storytelling.

@slv-berlin | A Different Space EP 
[SOMA495D]

SLV marks a return to Soma with his latest single, ‘A Different Space EP’. As usual, the anonymous producer deliver his trademark style of hard hitting percussive tracks built around interesting melodies and sequences.

After the ambient opener, A Different Space, Hook kicks off the EP at pace. SLV’s pumping kicks and low end create the groundwork for shuffling percussive elements and rasping hi hats tied nicely together by an infections and warping synth line. Keeping up the high tempo, Tars goes full pelt with a solid repetitive beat which proves to be an effective dance floor cut. Closing out this latest release, Radiance has a more haunting feel as unnerving, hardly recognisable vocals and tweeted out synth element move around another stomping and heavy handed beat.

SLV once again proves his credentials as one of the most exciting producers moving up the Techno ranks.
